GRANDI’S VISIT FULL OF PERIL FOR AMERICA France, Hostile to Italy, to Watch Talks With Hoover Closely. TWO SUBJECTS PITFALLS Disarmament and Revision of Treaties Food for Trouble. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrlpor'lloward Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Pittails and perils without end await the conversations between President Hoover and Dino Grandi, Italian foreign minister, here next week. Italy has been clashing dangerously with France and France's allies, and openly siding with France’s ex-enemies ever since the World war. The slightest misstep, therefore, on the part of American diplomacy during the Italian statesman's stay, might have disastrous ponscquences. To make the situation all the fcnore delicate, the two principal questions to be discussed here are and the stability of pentral Europe; in other words, revision of the peace treaties, including the treaty of Versailles. Already, therefore, both Paris and Berlin are watching Washington for any straws which they may happen to see blowing their way—or in the pppositc direction. Italy’s handsome, black-bearded foreign minister, it is known, will speak for Mussolini, and Mussolini never has sought to conceal his Views on any subject that has come up for discussion, least of all on disarmament and treaty revision. He is for both. Ready to Disarm Signor Grandi will tell President Hoover that Italy stands ready to disarm down to 10,000 men, or any other number, however small, providing the rest of the powers will do the same. This may sound reasonable enough to the average American, but to the French it is a direct challenge. To them, it is an Italian demand for equality on land and sea with France, something France steadfastly refuses to grant. The Franco-Italian feud came into the open during the Washington conference in 1921. In 1927, both Italy and France stayed away from the Geneva naval conference because they were hopelessly at log-, gerheads. And last year, at London, Italy's demand for naval equality, and France's refusal to entertain the idea, all but wrecked the conference. A three, instead of 1 five-power pact finally was signed. Look to Conference Now comes the world disarmament conference of February, 1932. It is only a little more than three months off. President Hoover and the world are pinning great hopes on its success although instead of only five powers, the whole world will be present, and instead of naval tonnages, all kinds of war machinery, land, sea and air, will be up for reduction and limitation. Not only are Italy and France at odds on the question of armaments but, to France’s way of thinking, Premier Mussolini has been unduly provocative in his speeches advocating revision of the war treaties. He has sided with Germany and the central European powers as against France, Poland, Jugoslavia and her other allies. When French Premier Laval was President Hoover's guest, Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations committee, nearly upset the applecart by telling French correspondents that the peace of Europe Is impossible until the Polish corridor and other war treaty injustices are rectified. Represents Opinion This opinion may be said to represent a large body of official opinion here. And while treaty revision 'was not pressed on Premier Laval, Washington still regards European politics as none of its business. France will watch the Grandi-Hoo-ver conversations like a Hawk for any undiplomatic or unduly sympathetic expressions on that score. It is the handling of these problems, therefore, which will command greatest attention abroad. For on the other principal items to be dis-cussed-world economic co-opera-tion, maintenance of the gold standard, reparations and war debts—the principal European powers and America are not worlds apart.

Child\ Held Captive in Closet for Years , Accuses Parents

Emaciated, Scarred, Girl of 13 Is Carried Into Courtroom. By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Edith Riley was carried into the grand jury room of the district supreme court today to testify against her father and stepmother, who are alleged to have kept her locked in a closet for four years. The 13-year-old child was brought from Gallinger hospital by representatives of the police women’s bureau, who found her huddled in a closet in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lester N. Riley. Wearing the first normal children’s clothes she has had on since her rescue last Friday—a blue tam o'shanter hat, red and blue plaid skirt and little blue navy jacket— Edith was carried from an automobile to the second floor of the courthouse into the crowded witness room. About twenty-five witnesses for the prosecution were present. Edith's parents were not thtv. but her 15-year-old brother, Francis, stood by, ready to testify for his sister. It was Francis who indirectly brought about the discovery of Edith in her closet cell. He discussed the matter with playmates at school. They reported it to a teacher. Louise Riley, Edith’s elder sister,

Yo Yo, Once a Weapon, Now Is Intriguing, Toy If Old King Cole, that Merry Olde Soul, had been living in Indianapolis today, instead of laughing through life in the days when knights wore armor and Cleopatra played tag with the crocodiles, he probably wouldn’t call for his pipe and his bowl and fiddlers three. No, he probably would call for his yo yo. For that’s the way it is with vo yo—it lays hold of everybody. The little spinning top has a colorful background. It had its origin in the heart of the Philippine Islands some 700 years ago. and at that time it was used by the natives as a weapon. Made in those days with rough edges and a long stout cord the yo yo was quite a “cut-up’ ’at 15 or 20 feet. However, as more modern means of warfare were introduced, the yo yo evolved into a harmless toy. About five years ago som? traveling Filipino boys brought several yo yos into the United .States with them and the crazt began. It takes no expert at all to become a yo yo addict, but It takes some concentration to become a yo yo adept. A mere introduction to the fascinating little jigger is sufficient to make an addict of any unwary citizen and after that it’s up to the addict to pursue the acquaintance of the tricky yo yo, and yo yo knows fifty-two, or maybe fifty-three, different ways to fool people.

STRIVE TO SPUR GAS TAX RULE Oil Men Call on Governor; He’s Away Hunting. A committee of organized oil dealers called at the Governor’s office today regarding a recent letter they sent the chief executive asking a gasoline tax audit and charging that bootleg gas is being sold in the state. They said in the latter they were prepared to aid in halting the bootleg gas traffic. A copy was sent to Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor, who has charge of the gasoline tax collections. Governor Harry G. Leslie has nothing to do with the collections. He was absent on a hunting trip when the oil men came today, and L. T. Chasey, his secretary, suggested they return Monday. Brucs Gaffil, South Bend oil dealer, was a member of the committee and the only one who called on Williamson. The auditor stated that so far as he knows there is no gasoline bootlegging going on now. RED MEN IN ELECTION By Times Special COLUMBUS, Nov. 10.—Red Men of Brown and Bartholomew counties have elected Frank Richards of Taylorsville as president of the bicounty organization.

living with Mr. and Mrs. Riley for two months. “It’s a terrible thing,” Louise said. “I should have told someone about it long ago, but you know what it is like when you are threatened.” Witnesses and visitors crowded about Edith, asking her questions. She murmured indistinct replies, barely opening her mouth. The jury is made up of twentyone men and two women. It will determine whether to return indictments against the Rileys on a charge of cruelty to children. If indicted, each would be liable to two years in prison. There was a possibility that separate indictments would be asked against Mr. and Mrs. Riley on charges of cruelty to Francis. He has asked Judge Kathryn Sellers of juvenile court to find him anew home. Hearing on the application will be held. Until then the boy and his sister, Louise, will remain with their aunt and uncle. Thirteen-year-old Edith has the expression of a 4-year-old child. Her body is emaciated and there are several scars on her forehead. Francis has told officers than on one occasion the stepmother struck the girl in the mouth with a shoe. Edith rarely smiles, but is docile. The Rileys told officers that a physician had examined the child and pronounced her abnormal, recommending that she be placed in an institution. The Rileys are charged with confining her, instead, in the unventilated, bare closet.

HOOVER TO GET LEAGUE.REPLY Answer Is Expected to Add Fuel to Navy ‘Fire.’ By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The controversy over President Hoover’s naval policy was due for a further airing today, with expected publication by the Navy League of its answer to the presidential committee report challenging league charges made against Mr. Hoover. Meanwhile, the league distributed a pamphlet containing a 1928 Armistice day address made by former President Coolidge, which was considered to be an indirect attack of President Hoover's naval economy program. Coolidge, in this address, asserted the United States needed more warships, particularly cruisers, than other powers. “As Armistice day approaches,” the league commented, “it becomes timely to recall President Coolidge’s last and most memorable address on that occasion in 1928.” The league headed the address with a quotation from George Washington: “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair.” Several paragraphs of the speech are emphasized by the use of blackface type.

CHINESE WILL FIGHT TO END, SAYS ADVISER League Failure to Bring Peace Will Fire Nation, Judge Declares. 2,000,000 MEN READY Jurist Asserts Gigantic Force Will Hurl Back Japanese Foe. By United Priss WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Failure of the League of Nations to bring aoout a peaceful settlement of the Manchurian situation will be the signal for China to throw all its military force against Japan in attempt at seif-deiense, Judge Paul Linebarger, legal adviser to the Naniung government, said today. liinebarger said the Chinese nave held bacK on resistance so far, in the hope that the Christian nations, with their organized peace raacninery, would prevent war. They twice have been disappointed by tne League of Nations, but tney are waiting for results of a third league meeting next Monday, he said. Has 2,000,000 Troops “Chiang Kai-Shek can move 2,000,00a troops against Japan before the end of the year, if China decides to abandon the passive resistance by which so far it has hoped to show the world its innocence in this crisis,” Linebarger said. “While this gigantic force is not armed as tne Japanese are, they would fight with tremednous patriotism, fired by months of forbearance under Japanese aggression. They would be led by umang Kai-Shek, the world’s master strategist. The battling would be gigantic.” Linebarger predicted the Japanese would be driven back with great losses. Appeals to Churches Linebarger announced he was canvassing church leaders of the nation to organize an appeal to the state department to intervene on behalf of China. “I tell them that Christ is at issue in China,” he said. “This is a war between pagan Japan and al Christian nations. For nearly a century America has poured out a great treasure in China to Christianize the Chinese. Now the day has come when in a few hours, the American churches can do more than they have in a century, .. .. . . “All they have to do is protest vehemently against Japan starting another world war, which eventually will involve all countries, with the greatest loss man has known.” War Not Declared BY HERBERT E. MOY American Manager; 'KtiO-HISn News Agency. NEW YORK, Nov. 10— Press dispatches from Tokio reporting a “declaration of war” made against Japan by General Ma Chan-Shan have been misconstrued grossly by the American press and public. These reports are unconfirmed, but even if they are verified, the existing situation in Manchuria would not be affected materially. An actual state of war has existed since the Japanese army seized Mukden almost two months ago, and the fighting during the last week between General Ma’s troops and the Japanese at Nonni river can not be called anything but war. However, General Ma can not declare war against Japan. He is merely a subordinate general in Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang’s army. His own force does not number more than 12,000 men. The significance of his declaration, however, lies in the fact that it represents the feeling of millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians. Patriotism is running high among the masses of the Chinese people; and the government is finding .. increasingly difficult to check the growing anti-Japanese agitation in the face of Japan’s continued acts of aggression in China.
